Ahh, fall and winter are upon us. That means it’s brussels sprouts season! For a long while, I never thought that I would be excited about brussels sprouts. My mom roasts them at home. The outsides get all crispy…it’s delicious. I got some at their local Sprouts Farmers Market and cooked them up for my […]

When we went to Europe this summer, we had one day that was a tour of Tuscany. When we were in Siena, we stopped into this tiny little shop, full of cookies. The gentleman running the shop must be fairly used to tours popping in as he had a plate of samples ready for us. […]

A lot of the recipes that I come up with are things that I do on the fly. Sometimes I feel creative, and I kind of just pick and choose from what I have on hand. With that being said, I wanted to go through what I tend to have in my kitchen at any […]

My team at work has been working exceptionally hard recently as we come to a close/publish date for one of our big projects. I wanted to do a bit of a morale boost, and they said they liked cookies! I’ll take any excuse to bust out Petunia (my mixer) and whip up some cookies! Most […]

I haven’t really eaten anything Italian since I got back from Europe. I mean, once you’ve had boar sauce, does anything else really measure up? This week, for our The Bachelorette night, I was craving Italian. This Italian meat sauce is simple and is actually going to feed me all week. Thank goodness for leftovers. Italian Meat […]

It’s time for another recipe! I think I need to change the title of this series to “Lazy Girl Cooking”. I mean, I love meals that you can cook in less than 30 minutes with things you already have on hand. This week: Vegetable Stir Fry. I love recipes where you can hide the vegetable […]

Disclaimer: The name of this dish is a testament to what you do to cook it, not how it tastes! It’s truly delicious. This is such an easy Mexican dish. I call this a “Mexican Dump” because of what you do to cook it. You could also call this a “Pantry Dump” if you wanted […]

Now that we’re officially past Memorial Day Weekend, it’s socially acceptable to grill out all the time. If you’re like me, you life in an apartment and grilling is more pain than it’s worth. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t have delicious grill ready recipes for your next cookout! This week: turkey burgers. One of […]
